HP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.3.1-00 User Guide

Scheduling tasks
You can edit the execution schedule or copy pair settings for tasks registered either during pair
configuration or at the completion of Pair Configuration Wizard processing. The Execution Request
Time options can be configured to determine if the task should be executed immediately or at a
scheduled date and time. For open systems, you can also specify the settings to only modify the P9000
RAID Manager definition (HORCM configuration file) without creating pairs.
Modifying task execution schedule
You can edit the execution schedule for tasks registered at the completion of Pair Configuration Wizard
processing.
TIP:
Note the following points:
• For mainframe pair configurations, the execution time set for a task is applied to all the related
tasks for the same copy group.
• If multiple tasks are scheduled for immediate execution or execution at the same date and time,
the tasks with the smaller task IDs are executed before the tasks with the larger task IDs.
• Actual task execution time may be delayed by as much as five minutes.
